Protein Domains

A protein domain is a distinct structural or functional region within a protein that can evolve, function, and exist independently of the rest of the protein chain. These domains in rat D2hgdh often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
  • FAD binding domain
  • zinc ion binding
  • FAD linked oxidases, C-terminal domain
  • CH-OH group oxidoreductase
